ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of radical surgical excision of total cyst for hepatic cystic echinoccosis. Methods During six years,86 patients with hepatic cystic echinococcosis were treated by radical surgical excision of the total cyst.Hospital stay,abdominal drainage time,residual cavity drainage,accumulated liquid in residual cavity,residual cavity infection and recurrence were compared with that in 90 cases receiving internal capsule extirpation. Results Radical surgical excision of total cyst for hepatic cystic echinococcosis is safe and very effective,the average hospital stay was significant shorter(P＜0.001)and there was no significant complications such as billiay fistula,residual cavity infection,accumulated liquid of residual cavity and recurrence of hydatid cyst. Conclusion Radical surgical excision of total cyst is an ideal and new therapeutic method for the treatment of hepatic cystic eehinococcosis.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the application of total-cystectomy in the hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>An retrospective analysis was made in 223 cases of HCE. The observation targets included the days post operative, blood loss during operation, complications of residual cavity and local recurrence. The patients were divided into two groups: cyst-resection group and cyst ectomy group. The cyst-resection group was divided into two sub-groups, per cystectomy group and liver resection group.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The incidences of residual cavity and local recurrence in the cyst-resection group were lower than that in the cystectomy group (P < 0.01). The incidences of blood loss and average days in ward in the per cystectomy group were lower than that in partial liver resection group (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>HCE can decrease the complication of liver residual cavity and local recurrence effectively, total cystectomy should be selected as first procedures for treatment of hepatic cystic echinococcosis.</p>
